Nittedal Station (Norwegian: Nittedal stasjon) is a railway station on the Gjøvik Line at Rotnes in Akershus county, Norway. The station was opened in 1900 as a stop for passengers and freight two years ahead of the opening of the Gjøvik Line in 1902.
In 1907 Nittedal was upgraded from a stop to a station manned to expedite trains, passengers and freight. In the years in between a station building was also erected that had been drawn by architect Paul Armin Due. In 1971, after almost 70 years of being in service the station became fully automatized and remote controlled.
Today the station is unmanned and furnished with ticket machines. It's elevation is 235.8 m AMSL and the distance to Oslo S is 24.26 km.
